My mom is the best resource for healthy recipe's. I remember growing up having to eat a lot of healthy food's some things were pretty strange. Now as an adult I really appreciate my mom instilling in me a desire to eat healthy(though I don't follow that desire as often as I need to, it is there). Her and my step dad do eat some things now that make me cringe though. So I hope everyone enjoys these recipes of health. I am going to be adding recipes as well more man friendly recipe's to go along with the healthy ones.

1 CUP RAW SUGAR
1 TBSP BAKING POWDER
1/2 TEASPOON SALT
1 1/3 CUPS SOY MILK
4 CUPS BERRIES (ANY KIND)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.In a mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients, then add the soy milk, and stir until batter is smooth.Spread the berries and any juice evenly in a 9X13 inch baking dish. Pour in the batter.Bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.This is a good recipe because it contains no added fat and be sure to use all great ORGANIC INGREDIENTS. I like it because you can make it all year round using frozen organic berries when they are on sale.
